About
Dr. Michael Dans is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cardiology and human-robot interaction, whose work explores how social robots can augment care for patients with heart failure. In his most-cited study, "Cardiology professionals’ views of social robots in augmenting heart failure patient care" (2023, 3 citations), Dr. Dans conducted the first empirical investigation into healthcare providers’ perspectives on deploying social robots for this vulnerable population. By gathering diverse views from cardiology professionals, he identified key opportunities and barriers for integrating robotic companions into chronic disease management—addressing the high human and health costs of heart failure. This foundational work positions Dr. Dans as a leading voice in the emerging field of socially assistive robotics for cardiovascular care. His research not only highlights the potential for robots to provide emotional support and health monitoring but also underscores the importance of clinician buy-in for successful implementation. Dr. Dans’s contributions are shaping how we think about technology’s role in patient-centered, scalable interventions for chronic illness.
